Hello, friends! It's the last day of July and let's close the month with a squeal! I've been holding back on these cards until after the birthdays of two equally adorable people. They are pretty much the same design with a a few little variations. Both cards feature MFT's super cute Hog Heaven stamps.
Card #1: I used LF's Spring Showers and Simple Stitched Hillside Borders dies to cut out the sun, clouds and hill to set the scene. For a bit of colour, I inked the panel with Tumbled Glass DI and mounted it on a pink card base.
I coloured the images with Copics and added Glossy Accents to the cupcakes.
Card #2 is for a little girl named Charlie (no relation to my little boy - see below) and I made a banner of her name with the help of the Mini Bunting and Banner dies by Clearly Besotted and LF's Riley's ABC, held together by LF's Orchid Lawn Trimming.
Here is the little piggy with 4 cupcakes... yes, because Charlie just turned 4! I gave the little piggy a little birthday glitter with the Clear Wink Of Stella.
